Bob however let someone get fired which has affected the organization. Carol should keep trying to talk with the managers to get some support to talk to Bob. She needs to make them feel safe from Ted. She is at the same level as Ted and could have influence on Bob. The only way things will change is if they talk to Bob about what is happening. Carol is the main source to help and the managers need to meet with her and make a plan (excluding Ted and Chuck).

Miller seems to be upset over these changes and not willing to change with the company. This has caused his morale to plummet.

    Mr. Blake took over the position, which was held by Bob Nardelli who was forced to resign his post over the controversy surrounding his lucrative pay package. However, the underlying reason had just as much to do with his handling of the transformation of the company after he took the reins in December 2000 (Azzato, M.). With no previous retail experience, Nardelli's gruff management style is said to have alienated several key top-level managers.

    the CEO at Home Depot, Robert Nardelli’s tenure was marked with heavy-handedness and inflexibility. Robert Nardelli’s leadership styles was autocratic. He utilized a command, control and conquer approach. He dictated policies and procedures, decided what goals were to be achieved, and directed and controlled all activities without any meaningful participation by the subordinates. He was in full control of the team, leaving low autonomy within the group. Before Nardelli came onboard, the managers of Home Depot had enjoyed independence under the laid-back entrepreneurship leadership style of Bernie Marcus. Almost immediately after Home Depot got Nardelli, he embarked on an aggressive plan to centralize control. He neglected the build relationships, inspired and aligned purpose, and create open communication with his team. He also disregarded the care of his shareholders. He was obsesses with goals, objectivity, and accomplishments within the boundaries of the values of the company. He

  • Wilson Brothers: The Qualities Of An Effective Leader

    245 Words  | 1 Pages

    The success of The Wilson Brothers depends on the leadership of the organization. The brothers are typical examples for their employees to follow. The evidence of this is that they work longer hours than most of their employees. Compared to other owners, they will give the job to others to run the company and employees can report their responsibilities to the leader instead of the owner directly inspecting. However, the Wilson Brothers know what they do and they always show their enthusiasm for the job. I think the Wilson Brothers need to have the qualities of a leader. They should provide leadership for their staff, clear job descriptions as well as on-the-job assessments. They rarely direct employees or supervise their employees.

Most importantly, all the problems are

  • Jack Welch Case Study

    This is where achievement oriented leadership comes into play. Achievement oriented leadership is a part of the path goal theory of leadership. This theory states, “…effective leaders clarify the paths (behaviors) that will lead to desired rewards (goals)” ((Griffin, Phillips, and Gully, 2016, p.421). The achievement oriented side of this theory means that Welch’s leadership qualities would involve setting difficult goals, expecting employees to have high performance levels, and showing confidence that his subordinate will put in the effort to reach those goals (Griffin, Phillips, and Gully, 2016). The core and secondary problem are results of this leadership method. Employees began to feel overworked, because they were trying to achieve these challenging goals, while still picking up the pieces of those that were let go due to the restructuring. It is great to set goals for a company, but do not make them unrealistic. Some of Welch’s ideas and goals were not realistic in a short time
